Current availability

Because of a problem in administration of research proposal
submission, I am currently available for work (as of July 2007).
I'm ideally looking for contracts of around a year, as I hope to
return to academic research after that.

For choice, I'm looking for programming work in Lisp, Perl or
C; I'm happy to consider other languages, even if learnt for the
purpose, but I definitely don't want to work in Java. (Some day I
might write my own notes about what's so bad about it; for now,
see Paul Graham's
notes or Jamie
Zawinski's rant.)

You can read my CV as html, as dvi or as PDF. You can
contact me by email. I will be
reading my email several times a week, but not daily.

Recent work

I was most recently working on some Irish-language-related
computing projects.
